In 1988, ALF had a 2-part Thanksgiving special guest-starring David Ogden Stiers as a homeless man hiding out in the Tanners’ garage.

So I just listened to this one the other day and at one point Chad asks why Q*bert needed to call everyone over to pound in the last nail and not a single one of you called it an act of pure Q*ubris
November 14, 2025 at 1:58 PM
🦃 In 1983, Q*bert got his own cartoon. It had a Thanksgiving episode showing his ancestors building a Q home in a Q land after arriving on the Q*flower. It’s real!

Here’s an 80-minute podcast about it with @brainexploder.bsky.social, @horrormoviebbq.bsky.social, and @thepopdaddy.bsky.social.

It's another animated adaptation of A Christmas Carol. This one is from Australia in 1982 and stars Ron Haddrick as Scrooge. Will it hold a candle to Mickey's Christmas Carol?

Señor Wences last went down,
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even.
Asked he, "Is that man alright,
"Gath’ring winter fuel."
Came the answer quick, "S'alright,"
In a voice most cruuuueeeel
